GOVERNMENT BELIEVES NEW GOODS TO RETURN
AT 1942 PRICES DESPITE INDUSTRY'S OPPOSITION
WASHINGTON, Aug 22—(PP)-
"The government still thinks most
1 consumer goods will come back on
the market at or near 1942 prices.
But there’s plenty of industry op-
position
OPA began saying last fall that
a’ts goal of prices of three years ago
“would be achieved. Its still saying

However, many manufactur-
ers have argued that wages are
'•Occupancy Rules
Off War Houses
DALLAS, Aug. 22 —— Occu-
pancy restrictions on all private
new and converted war housing
"Ounits built with benefit of priorities
in Texas, Oklahoma New Mexico.
Arkansas and Louisiana are being
removed, but sales are rental ceil-
ings are retained. Joseph P Tufts,
regional representative of the Na-,
ational Housing agency in Dallas, has'
announced.
It is no longer necessary for a
up and materials cost more than
before the war. And that prices
must go up to compensate for
this.
OPA has agreed that in cases
where these costs have risen signi-
ficantly, producers' prices should be
boosted. But it has indicated that
these increases may have to be ab-
sorbed by wholesalers and retailers.
This would prevent any hike in
prices the public paid before auto-
mobiles, refrigerators and many
other products went off the mar-
ket three years ago.
OPA has the backing of Presi-
dent Truman in this. In his execu-
tive order over the week-end Mr.
Truman said, in effect:
Grant manufacturers price in-
creases where they clearly are en-
titled to them, but take all rea-
sonable steps to see that this does
not cause increases at retail. *
That’s just what OPA plans to
do. It expects to come up within
a few days with price ceilings for
some of the products due back.
% % e
t erials—grains, metals and so forth
Principal exceptions are tin, lum-
ber. textiles and crude rubber
This means that in general re-
moval of ceilings st retail will lag
behind elimination at manufactur-
ing levels.
And even at retail some products
within general categories will be
freed of controls much sooner than
others. On food, for example, this
is the outlook:
Price ceilings probably will be
lifted on cereals and bread.
Canned vegetables may be next,
followed by meat, then canned
fruits. Lard, shortening and
salad oils probably will be
among the last foods freed.
The present law allows OPA to
stay in business until next June 30.
OPA expects there still will be ceil-
ings on the books at that time.
It will be up to Congress to de-
cide then whether price control
should be continued.
Officials of the agency said the
prospective tenant to obtain certi- sudden end of the war has made it
fication of eligibility or to occupy easier to achieve the goal of 1942
a dwelling 60 days prior to pur-
chase of such housing, Tufts said.
However, rental tenants may not be
evicted to give possession to a new
purchaser. 4---------------
Sales and rental ceilings on prior-
ity constructed war housing will re-
main in effect.
Jimmy Coming Home
INDIANA, Pa., Aug 22.-( —Col .
James Stewart, hero both of the
motion pictures and World War II,
is expected to leave England Mon-
Oday for his return home, his moth-
prices.
They reason this way: Manufac-
turers—preparing for only limited
output before Japan folded—now
will be able to hit volume produce
tion within a few months.
This means it won't cost as much
to turn out individual products-
unit costs will be down on toasters,
washing machines snd all other
consumer goods.
Meanwhile, there seemed to
be no chance at all that OPA
would meet a request for no
price ceilings on new cars. It
was made by Senator Wherry
(R-Neb), who contended com-
petition among the auto mak-
ers would serve to keep prices
in hand.
OPA believes, on the other hand

Second Shuffle of
State Department
Near Completion
WASHINGTON, Aug 22 - (P)-
Two top positions already filled, the
second State department shakeup
in nine months appeared well on
the way to completion today, a
President Truman is expected to
appoint at least two more assist-
ent secretaries shortly and reports
persist that at leasa one more hold-
over from the “team" of former
Secretary Edward R. Stettinius Jr.,
will not remain under Secretary
Byrnes.
The President yesterday
reached into the staff of Gen.
George C. Marshall to desig-
nate Col. Frank McCarthy, S3,
of Richmond. Va., assistant sec-
retary for administration.
Previously, Mr. Truman had
boosted Assistant Secretary Dean
G. Acheson to undersecretary, suc-
ceeding Joseph C. Grew. McCarthy
replaces Brig Gen. Julius Holmes,
who resigned last week.
Departure of Nelson A. Rocke-
feller. assistant secretary for Latin
American relations, has been rum-
ored ever since Byrnes became sec-
retary.
If the present state department
structure is continued, the Presi-
dent still must appoint assistant
secretaries to replace Acheson, who
had charge of congressional rela-
tions and international conferences,
and Archibald MacLeish, who di-
rected the department s cultural and
public relations.
When he took office last month,
however, Byrnes asked the budget
bureau to study the department’s
structure On the basis of that
study, he and the president may
reduce the number of assistant sec-
retaryships from six to five

Basically different in operating principle,
the gas refrigerator has no machinery to
wear, to need replacing, to make noise.
A gas flame does all the work, making it
the refrigerator costing the least to own.
So it is little wonder that many are saying,
"My next refrigerator will be a gas refrig-
erotor." Save for one with war bonds.
Trouble-free gas refrigerators will be back
in the stores when the factory is released
